Web Summit says the government "formally advised" it. We have the Prime Minister's words through a press live blog only. Is the advice published on a government page?

## What would close it

A government address (portugal.gov.pt or a ministry) with the text, or a report in which the government says it was given by word only. A second independent report also helps (it stays evidence).


Where we look (each leaves this site): [www.portugal.gov.pt](https://www.portugal.gov.pt/).
